Why is Brotaufstrich Linse-Curry classified as processed (NOVA 3) and which additive does it contain?

The spread is made by cooking red lentils, mixing them with oil, seeds, fruit, and spices, which qualifies as processed preparation (NOVA 3). The only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

How do the sugar (6 g) and salt (1.5 g) levels in this lentil‑curry spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Six grams of sugar per 100 g can raise blood glucose and may require carbohydrate counting for diabetics, while 1.5 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and could be a concern for hypertension; both nutrients are moderate but should be consumed in limited portions by individuals managing these conditions.

Is Brotaufstrich Linse-Curry suitable for strict vegan and gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the product contains only plant‑based ingredients, is labeled vegan, and lists no gluten‑containing grains, making it appropriate for both vegan and gluten‑free diets.
